There are many "tried-and-true" approaches for running a business or structuring a work environment. Many of those approaches limit collaboration, creativity and momentum. Join us for "Reinventing Business x PechaKucha" to learn from those who have broken out of the mold and adopted a non-traditional business approach by leveraging everything from innovative office configurations, management styles, to cutting-edge technologies. You won’t want to miss it, as this promises to be an evening of take-aways for all attendees.

PRESENTATIONS FROM THIS EVENT

Reaching the summit of your business success - and staying there requires more grit and determination than technology or reimagined workspace. Speaker Jeff Russell's PechaKucha blends what enabled the speaker to stay a successful consultant for over 28 years with what he has learned from the successes - and failures - of his clients. Making it to your mountain top is more about your spirit and resilience than your LinkedIn network, the number of your Twitter followers, or how flat your organization is. In this talk learn what it might take to climb your mountain and what you need to do to stay on top!

An effective LinkedIn profile includes much more than career data. How do you create a profile that is engaging and effectively highlights your personal brand? Join personal branding coach Dana Zurbubhen for this interactive workshop where you'll learn step by step how to enhance your LinkedIn profile with your personal brand's message. LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner liked the tips so much he shared them with his own LinkedIn followers!

“I took the opportunity to pursue my daydreams and last summer I joined 35 other educators here in madison. We studied yoga and anatomy and we learned strategies for mindfully regulating classrooms.”

In Breath for Change from PechaKucha Night MadisonVolume 16, Presenter Hanna Hermanson discusses Breathe For Change. B4C is on a mission to improve the health and well being of teachers, students, and school communities through wellness practices and community building. The leaders of this organization embody the type of change they wish to see in the world and have left behind traditional workspaces and structures to implement their vision. Each team member is supported in personal intention and goal setting to help live their fullest expression of their work. Their workspaces resemble co-working spaces, yoga studios, and classrooms across the country.

Over the next decade, member based organization will continue to struggle with maintaining critical mass, identity, momentum, member engagment, relevance, and appeal to diverse demographics and multi-generations. Van Nutt will recap some of the lessons learned during his tenure with the Middleton Chamber of Commerce and share some new ways of thinking about MBO's of the future.

What is coworking, and how could it evolve in the future? Tiffanie Mark will exhibit how true collaboration can be used to facilitate the evolution of business. How we can, in fact, build ourselves through building community, and how this could apply to you!
